NESCent Hackathon on Comparative Methods in R

NESCent is sponsoring a hackathon focused on integration of comparative methods within the R statistical package in order to promote interoperability, the support of data exchange standards, and greater usability of tools and methods in evolutionary bioinformatics.

The event is tentatively scheduled to take place Dec 10-14, 2007, at NESCent in Durham, North Carolina and will bring together different people and groups who have started to develop comparative phylogenetic methods in the R platform, or who would like to integrate their methods into, or interface a tool with the R platform.
